I found an interesting
historical page
about the Kotte kingdom in Sri Lanka. There is a flag also. This is brief
introduction:
"...Tamils and Sinhalese had lived as separate nations in their defined
homelands; Tamils in the northern and eastern parts and the Sinhalese in the
rest of the country. When the Portuguese invaded Sri Lanka at the beginning of
the 16th century the Tamil kingdom, the Kingdom of Jaffna, was ruling the
northern and eastern parts of the country; the Kingdom of Kotte was ruling the
coastal areas of the western and southern Sri Lanka and the Kandyan Kingdom was
ruling the central hills of the island.Kotte was the first to come under foreign
influence and its rulers later in that century willingly transferred their
sovereignty to the Portuguese king. The Jaffna Kingdom was conquered by the
Portuguese in 1621 and the Kandyan Kingdom by the British in 1815. The
sovereignty of Jaffna Kingdom, which passed to the colonial rulers through
capture, should have reverted to the Tamil people at independence."Valentin Poposki, 24 September 2005
